"It has got to the stage where he is not sure where he is going to live.”

After five days’ treatment Gazza left hospital in a taxi and returned to the rented flat at exclusive Sandbanks, in Poole, Dorset, where he faces being evicted following noise complaints by neighbours.

The dad of three was accompanied by a woman, believed to be a relative, as he arrived clutching a £20 note and carrying his clothes in a blue bag.

The lease on his luxury flat runs out on September 13 and the company in charge of the block said it will not be renewed.

Gazza, who was found slumped outside the apartment clutching a bottle of gin last week, became a millionaire overnight when he was transferred from Newcastle to Spurs in 1988.
